Preview

Match preview

Vasco DA Gama host Coritiba in round 28 of Serie A, looking to climb out of the relegation zone. Vasco currently sit in 17th place with 28 points from 26 matches, though recent victories over Santa Fe and Gremio have provided positive momentum. However, the hosts enter this fixture without suspended midfielder Tche Tche, alongside injured trio Brenner, Mateus Carvalho, and Ramon Rique.

Coritiba travel to Rio de Janeiro positioned in 8th place with 38 points, holding a Copa Sudamericana qualification spot. The visitors have demonstrated dependable away form throughout the campaign, securing five wins and four draws from 13 road fixtures. Led in attack by Pedro Rocha with eight goals and playmaker Josue with ten assists, Coritiba maintain regular offensive output despite missing suspended forward Breno Lopes.

Head-to-head encounters between these two sides have regularly been tightly contested, with six draws registered across their past ten meetings, including a 1-1 stalemate in their reverse fixture earlier this season. Given Coritiba's consistency away from home and Vasco's ongoing battle against the drop, another competitive duel is expected.

68%
Both must land · no better than

Yes — 68% confidence

Both teams have scored in 70 percent of the last ten meetings between these sides, including the 1-1 draw earlier this campaign. Coritiba average 1.4 goals scored per away match and have conceded in each of their last five outings, while Vasco average 1.2 goals scored per home match.

Coritiba or Draw — 73% confidence

Coritiba sit ten points clear of Vasco DA Gama in the table and have proven difficult to beat on their travels, losing only four of their 13 away matches this season. Vasco have suffered five home defeats and must cope with key personnel absences, making the double chance on the visitors well supported by the data.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (both teams to score and double chance), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
